You need a trial attorney, not just a litigator!
​
What is the difference between a trial attorney and a litigator?​ The key differences between a trial attorney and a litigator lie in their roles, skill sets, and focus within the litigation process.
While trial attorneys are generally litigators, not all litigators are trial attorneys. The responsibilities of a litigation attorney and trial attorney diverge significantly at different stages of a case.​ Many excellent litigators do not focus on courtroom representation, that is why we provide trial preparation and representation, and case review. We handle your case like it is always headed to trial.
